Weighing and Measuring Foods

Group,

I buy chicken breasts in bulk form. Normally, I would cook the entire bag and eat one breast at each setting.

Does anyone weigh meats, poultry, and fish? What about brown rice servings and green veggis?

Thanks

what's a proper weight for chicken breasts? The ones I buy in bulk are huge, thus asking for info.

Thanks Jim

4oz Chicken = 120 Calories = 24g Protein thus..
Most people eat 8oz a serving..

I believe it is 4 oz cooked=24 grams protein. I made that mistake when i first started dieting and was way undereating.
